Today I rant. Mostly about work, but maybe some other things too.

So three days a week I come to work at 7, the other two I'm in at 8. It usually ends up that most days it's 8 because getting up at 6 is just sick. I don't have to clock in, I always take an hour lunch, and I leave when I'm supposed to because I do technically have a time-card, but it's nothing a computer calculates. I make my own time cards. The point is, Thursdays we have meetings. They're at 8 and I'm in at 8 these days, so perfect. Twice, I have come in at 8:05. Now, these meetings have about less than nothing to do with me. I'm the tech girl. I'm behind the scenes and I do everything no one else pays attention to nor talks about in a "team morale" meeting. But I got called out for being "late" which yeah I hate being late regardless so trust me I'm already mad at myself...so now I make sure I'm on time. Well, for the past two weeks and two weeks last month, the meeting has not happened without any heads up to me. So here I am, going to Dunkin Donuts because whoever thinks I'm not stopping is absurd and they take good care of me...but I never know how long the line is going to be and I have to make up time on the road for that lost waiting for my coffee. And then I get to work at 7:58 and BOOM no meeting and my boss isn't even here. I'm over it.

Then, I get called out for leaving at 4 or 5 on the dot. Yeah, I get called out for leaving when I'm supposed to. For those of my friends in retail, leaving on the dot is like bible to those people. If you stay longer they will literally shank you, so you go when it's time. I'm not salary, therefore I leave right when I'm supposed to because it's ingrained in me. Sure, I'll stay longer but I'm going to put it on my time-card....you gonna pay me? That's what I thought, you're welcome. AND it's not like I'm leaving to go throw a party...I'm leaving to go to class. Do you understand not only what 75 is like at 5pm between Immokalee and Corkscrew? Parking at FGCU when classes get out? Yeah, didn't think so. Shut your mouth.

Fast forward 10 minutes to just now when my boss called me to his desk to ask me a question. So, the woman I work closest with I would say I know pretty well. I understand how she works, what she looks for, all that stuff. So she's out at a meeting this morning and I forwarded her an email that's gonna really help what we're working on. Except my boss intercepted it because he's insane and was like "well, she won't be here until a little later, I check her email just in case." Okay crazy, what's your question. He asked why I worded something a certain way and when I said "because I know how she works and that's how she'll understand it..." he's like "well I don't like it." 1. Stop reading her email, we have it under control. 2. You don't have to like it, it's how we work. 3. You probably don't like when we make up songs about each other and sing them terrible for 20 minutes straight...but we do that anyway. GET OVER IT.

K I'm done.
